Our History & Impact

In March 2021, as a response to pandemic isolation, a few founding artists from Pendleton Arts Block in Northeast Kansas City, set out to host our first community event in Pendleton Heights with the help of local business owners.

Starting small, we hoped to create a regular Sunday space for reconnection in our community and address the mental/financial struggles many creatives faced during Covid. Creatives and the community were invited each week to join us in a small park across from our local coffee shop; to make and sell art, play music, dance and connect. To our surprise, the event's popularity grew rapidly! The impact felt by artists & neighbors became very apparent, driving our team to build a more organized system and grow!

Today, we've expanded!! Hosting over 75 free community events per year, in historic Kansas City locations. Our team now consists of 20 dedicated volunteers and a skeleton crew of 5 administrators/event managers running the daily operations that make our events so successful.

In 2023, Art Garden KC provided a $1.4 Million economic impact to the creative small business community and $10,700 in support to local musicians!

Through our generous sponsors, donors and volunteers…plus wonderful partners such as City Market, Port KC and Crossroads Arts District we continue to bring valuable experience to artists & small business owners at amazingly affordable rates.

Help us continue our impact!
